Anime top 5: Part 2- Top 5 anime swordsmen

This was a lot harder to pick than the last one, so I might release a top ten sometime as well for this same topic, however, in the spirit of top 5, I did my best. Enjoy!


#5-Kagura Tsuchimiya- Ga-Rei: Zero

Kagura showed up in my 15 favorite characters list, so, I can't really say too much more about it, however, she goes from being just a swordsman to also controlling a dragon, which is awesome.











#4-Ryuuko Matoi - Kill La Kill

I really struggled on deciding whether to put Ryuuko in this top 5 only because her weapon isn't actually a sword, it's a scissor. Nonetheless, Ryuuko definitely deserved a place in this countdown.









#3-Misuzu Kusakabe - 11Eyes

Sadly enough, Misuzu slipped my mind when I was thinking of my 15 favorite anime characters (11eyes was the 10th anime I ever watched =P), but when I went back through my list, I knew I had to put her in my top 5 swordsmen. Her 5 elemental swords definitely put her in the race for the best, but it's obvious if you've seen these shows why these next to go where they do.





#2-Mirai Kuriyama - Kyoukai no Kanata(Beyond the Boundary)

If you have ever seen this show, you will understand why she is so high up on the list. Not only does she have amazing sword skills, but the sword she uses is made out of her own blood. It makes for awesome action sequences in this anime. So go watch it.






#1-Yojiro Akizuki - Intrigue in the Bakumatsu Irohanihoheto

So, Akizuki gets #1 slot based not only on sword skill, but his massive amount of intelligence and overall intimidation factor. (Not to mention, I copied a tiny bit of his sword style to make mine better!) If you want the full story on this guy, good luck because it doesn't exist. But in all seriousness, watch the show. Don't let the name intimidate you.


-------------------------
Honorable Mentions- These are characters that I wanted to put in the countdown, but were disqualified because of technicalities, or just weren't good enough to make it in. No pictures for these people, but you should check out their shows nonetheless.
